<h4>Chapter 458: Eiji is a good friend</h4>


    If Eiji checked Anastasia''s positive level now, he would definitely be surprised.


    He thought Anastasia liked it and acted differently from the original work because of his inner voice. But, he didn''t expect it to be because of the thing he used when he and his girls first came to this world.


    More precisely the Protagonist Plot Stealing Card.


    The description Miss System gave did not exin how exactly the card''s ability worked.


    Eiji only knew certain plots would change without his direct intervention. The Protagonist Plot Stealing Card was random, he didn''t even know the plot changed by the item was the plot this time.


    The card apparently went to the past and told Anastasia the great things he had done until the girl fell in love with him.


    [This is strange. Not like in the original work. Is it just me or is Ana more optimistic about me than Arata? Instead of flirting with Arata, she flirts with me.]


    [I suspect she''s in love with me.]


    The heroines: "...."


    Many of them wanted to call Eiji too narcissistic but heard what Anastasia did. They thought it wasn''t impossible because even though Eiji was shameless and narcissistic, he was so handsome that women like them easily fell in love with him.


    Eiji knew this, he used his "Future Insight" to check the future because he wasn''t sure what Anastasia''s ns were after seeing her previous actions.


    When saying goodbye, the girl even just said it to him and ignored Arata.


    After checking the future, Eiji couldn''t help but smile which made the female students who happened to pass by blush.


    "Eiji-san, your smile is too dangerous. Do you want to make all the girls in school fall in love with you?" Levi asked jokingly. She walked beside the boy with cotton candy in her hand.


    The food was bought by Eiji for them. Or rather after the thing that happened before, he invited them to tour the school and enjoy the Festival together.


    It was like a date that even made Levi secretly happy. Still, sometimes she blushed a little as she remembered Eiji''s sword that had stabbed Xenovia in the past.


    As for Arata? None of them talked about him after finding out Eiji teleported the unconscious boy to the school health room.


    "That''s not a bad idea." Eiji said.


    Leviughed, but the overly serious Mira didn''t think it was a joke at all.


    She looked at the boy walking beside her in panic.


    "Eiji-san, you can''t do that! That''s too much!"


    "Too much?" Eiji looked at the blonde girl with amusement.


    "Jealous Mira-san is so cute~" Levi grinned and mocked the girl.


    Mira almost dropped the cotton candy in her hand, she red at the two people with a red face.


    "No, it''s not like that. I-I just..."


    Mira was at a loss for what to say. It was true that she was jealous so she tried to stop Eiji from doing crazy things like making all the girls in school fall in love with him.


    She was also upset when she saw Eiji feeding Anastasia.


    However, there was no way she would say that. Her tsundere personality prevented her from doing embarrassing things.


    Fortunately, at this moment they heard a familiar cute voice from one of the food stands.


    "Wait a minute, Arin-san. Hey how much is this dango? Yui wants to buy it~!"


    "...."


    "One skewer of our special dango is only 90 yen. Yui-san, Arin-san. How many sticks do you two want?


    The female student who was selling dango with her friends asked Yui and Arin kindly. Of course with the Trinity Seven identity that the two girls had. They all recognized it.


    Arin whose hands were full of various snacks shook her head and said, "No, only Yui-san wants to buy."


    "Etto... I want five!" Yui said.


    "Alright here you go, five dango. The total will be 450 yen."


    "450 yen? Wait a minute... Um... Um... Eh, where''s my wallet?"


    Yui checked the pockets of her skirt and clothes in a slight panic.


    The white-haired girl''s wallet seemed to have fallen on the road.


    "...." Arin and the student who sold the Dango.


    Arin wanted to offer to use her money first but someone preceded her.


    "Let me pay for it."


    It was a boy they knew. It was not Arata but Eiji. On either side of him were Mira and Levi.


    "Ah sure. Yui-san, take this." Taking the money from Eiji''s hand, the dango-selling girl gave Yui a package of dango.


    Yui was happy to get the food she wanted. Of course, she didn''t forget to look at Eiji and say. "Eiji-san, thank you~! I''ll definitely reimburse youter."


    Eiji waved his hand. "It''s only small money. As long as a pretty girl like Yui is happy, I''m satisfied."


    Hearing this, Levi whistled and said "As expected of Eiji-san."


    "Eiji-san, you..." Mira was a little jealous and upset that Eiji was flirting with another girl in front of her.


    Previously Anastasia, Levi and herself. Now seeing Yui who lost her wallet, the boy seized this opportunity to be a hero and say sweet words to seduce her.


    Mira knew it was not her right to protest what Eiji wanted to do because she was not his girlfriend.


    But...


    Being a tsundere girl was exhausting.


    "...." Arin didn''t say anything. She just stared at Eiji tly. Don''t know what she thought of the boy who defeated Arata so many times.


    "Pretty? Hehe Yui is happy to hear that. But..." Yui who looked embarrassed from hearing what Eiji said also hesitated. She didn''t want to be indebted.


    "How about recing my money by traveling around the school with us before the tournament starts? Having more people would be nice." Eiji said with a smile.


    The other girls looked at the boy in surprise.


    Was it just them or was this Eiji''s true intention?


    Not satisfied with Levi and Mira. He also wanted to date Yui.


    "Of course, Arin cane with us too. I''ll pay for whatever you all want to buy on the way."


    Arin too?!


    Eiji ignored the whispers of the female students around him.


    "Ehh?! T-Then okay... Yui wille with you~"


    Yui agreed. It wasn''t that shecked money because as Trinity Seven, the principal gave her a lot of money every time shepleted a mission.


    Today she was just unlucky because she lost her wallet so she had to borrow Eiji''s money.


    Now she just wanted to pay off her debt to Eiji and traveling around the school with her friends would definitely be fun.


    While Eiji was happy that Yui didn''t refuse, Arin frowned and said to the white-haired girl.


    "Yui-san, did you forget? We''re looking for Arata."


    "Ah that... About Onii-san..."


    In fact before being interested in buying Dango.


    Yui remembered that she and Arin were looking for Arata''s whereabouts. They were a little worried because from Eiji''s inner voice, they knew the boy had vomited blood and fainted.


    The reason? Arata got too emotional from being defeated again by Eiji.


    Even so, Arata had messed up so much using his inner voicetely that girls like Yui didn''t even like him as much as she used to.


    This was one of the reasons why she epted Eiji''s invitation so easily. But Arin was different, now she was the girl who liked Arata the most.


    However, Eiji didn''t panic. He knew how to handle this situation and said, "Speaking of Arata. He fainted earlier, so I''ve taken him to the school health room. Don''t worry, he''s fine and will wake up before his match starts."


    "...." Mira.


    "...." Levi.


    What Eiji said is correct but the part about escorting Arata to the school health room is incorrect.


    What''s correct is that you threw the boy into the school health room with your teleportation magic.


    That''s not a gentle method at all and is rather rude.


    Should they have said that? They didn''t.


    Even the jealous Mira didn''t correct what Eiji said. For some reason, she didn''t want Arin and Yui to be together with a boy like Arata.


    It would be good if those two girls stayed away from Arata like herself.


    It definitely wasn''t because she was worried that Eiji would hate her if she foiled his n to invite the two girls.


    "Onii-san is fine, Arin-san. Let''s go with Eiji-san and the others~!"


    Yui pulled Arin''s hand toe with her.


    Arin had no chance to refuse, Eiji gave a thumbs up to Yui in his heart.


    With that, Eiji traveled around the school with the four Trinity Seven.


    ...


    "Ugh... Where is this, Sora? The school health room?"


    No one answered because Sora wasn''t even by his side. The girl seemed to still be having fun somewhere with Ilia or she might be her mother, Radix.


    Arata felt sad, he got out of bed and tried to remember what happened before he fainted.


    He remembered everything and his expression turned green... I mean ugly.


    {Damn, damn! Eiji, you''re such a good friend!}


    Waking up from his stupor, the protagonist immediately scolded Eiji with sarcastic words in his heart.


    Many heroines shook their heads.


    The saddest thing was that Arata didn''t know right now Eiji was dating Mira, Levi, Arin and Yui.


    The first two might be fine, but thest two?


    Arata would probably vomit blood again once he found out.


    He didn''t realize two new green hats were ready to be ced on his head.


    He wouldn''t have thought that Yui, who usually doted on him, would rather join in the fun with Eiji than check on him.


    The girl had even pulled Arin along and now they were talking andughing with Eiji.


    It was good that Arata didn''t know about this yet. It was probably only a matter of time before the rumors about Eiji dating the four Trinity Seven reached his ears.


    At this moment, Arata couldn''t help but think of Anastasia who had just made him fall in love.


    He clenched his fists with determination zing in his eyes.


    {I admit Eiji has managed to defeat me many times. Liese, Akio, Mira and perhaps Lilith have fallen into his hands. But not Ana! There is still hope. As long as I win the tournament and show my power as a Magic King Candidate."


    {Ana will definitely fall in love with me! This time, I won''t let the girl I love fall into Eiji''s hands!}


    Saying that in his heart, Arata stood up from the bed and thanked the nurse at the school infirmary before leaving with confidence-filled steps.


    The tournament was about to start, he had to go to the arena right away.


    Truly worthy of being the protagonist.


    His mentality was something to be apuded.


    But, would Arata still be as fine as he was now if he knew his cousin, Hijiri had even fallen into Eiji''s hands?


    He didn''t even know Hijiri became a representative of the Royal Liber Academy.


    ...


    On the other side, more precisely in the arena aisle where people passed through to get to the audience seats.


    "Pu- ahahaha!"


    When Arata''s inner voice was heard, Anastasiaughed so hard that she wiped away the tears at the corners of her eyes.


    "Ana, why are you suddenlyughing? You wereughing to yourself earlier too."


    "No, Arsha. I just remembered something funny."


    Anastasia shook her head. It wasn''t that she didn''t want to tell her best friend the details, but she couldn''t do it.


    She realized that there were rules that prevented her from telling others about Eiji and Arata''s inner voices. With her powers as the reincarnation of the Saint of Revival, she wasn''t even able to find out who the person was that allowed her to hear the inner voice.


    However, one thing was certain. Anastasia felt no malicious intent. That person probably just wanted to help her understand Eiji and Arata''s thoughts.


    What made herugh was of course what Arata thought of her. That boy was in love with her and thought she would fall in love with him after he showed off by winning the tournament.


    The feeling of eavesdropping on this inner voice was interesting. Anastasia was both happy and annoyed that she had to hear the voice of another boy she didn''t like inside her head. But, she also enjoys hearing the inner voices of the person she likes like Eiji who suspects that she is in love with him.


    He guessed it and it was funny that she oftenughed to herself which made her best friend, Arsha think she was sick.


    "Tsk! It''s okay if you don''t want to tell me. But are you sure our n will work?"


    The woman in the ck hooded robe who hid her face for some reason was called Arsha. She clicked her tongue and looked at her partner with a frown.


    Anastasia smiled and said, "As long as Eiji does not participate in the match, I am confident of my victory. I can defeat the Magic King, Trinity Seven and other school representatives. Arsha, don''t worry."


    "I hope so although I don''t know if the boy named Eiji is as strong as you say." Arsha said.


    The two continued to walk in the deserted hallway and coincidentally when they were about to turn a corner. They crossed paths with some girls who were walking in the opposite direction from them.


    Arsha was a little surprised because this was the first time she had seen a female student whose beauty and figure was no less or better than Anastasia''s other than Lilith Asami from Trinity Seven.


    And not only that, she felt that these girls were not simple! They were even wearing school uniforms that did not belong to the Three Great Magic Academies. Which school were these students from?


    Beforeing here, Arsha did not look for any updated information at all as she only supported Anastasia''s n to deal with the Magic King Candidate.


    However, Anastasia widened her eyes because she had seen some of those girls in Eiji''s past. She only knew their appearances because the things she knew about Eiji were also limited to videos showing how strong the boy''s power was and a bit of his life with the girls in his harem.


    They were Eiji''s women.


    "Hm? I heard you guys mention Eiji''s name and that uniform... Are you two representatives of the Royal Akasha Academy?"


    There were four people in the group. The one who asked was Rias who as usual liked to act as the leader. The girls who followed her were Akeno, Mio and Xenovia.


    "W-We..." Arsha was nervous, she felt intimidated by Rias'' natural beauty and aura. The red-haired girl was very beautiful and her breasts were also very big! The girls who followed her also had figures that were no lessrge than hers.


    Among the six of them, she was the shortest and most petite girl. Despite her identity as the principal of Royal Akasha Academy, she could not help but hide behind Anastasia.


    Anastasia''s lips twitched. She was also somewhat intimidated by Rias but it was only for a moment as she immediately released her natural aura as the Saint of Revival. The sensitive mages could see the dark auraing out of her body.


    "Not the two of us, but just me. I, the representative of Royal Akasha Academy, will be participating in this tournament. Are the four of you also going to participate? Which school are you representing?"


    "Us?" Rias smiled, even without introducing herself, she knew this girl who released a dark aura wearing the Royal Akasha Academy uniform must be the girl her fiancé had recently wooed. Actually with her hearing, she heard one of the girls wearing ck robes calling her Ana.


    That girl must be Anastasia-L.


    Such an appearance clearly reflected that she was the heroine and not an extra character.


    Such a beautiful girl was enough to make Eiji excited.


    She shook her crimson hair slightly before saying, "We''re representatives of Kuoh Academy."


    "...." Akeno, Mio and Xenovia. What Rias said was not wrong but did she need to flick her hair? It almost pped them in the face.


    And what''s with that arrogant posture? Rias, your Princess personality seems to have gotten a bit out of control and surfaced.


    "Kuoh Academy? I''ve never heard of such a magic school name." Arsha said in confusion.


    "Ara. Of course, after all that school only exists in another world."


    "Another world? So you guys are from another world?!"


    Rias nodded at the screaming Arsha.


    Arsha was shocked.


    Anastasia frowned, she just knew Eiji came with these girls. Wait, she saw many spirits surrounding the girls as if they liked them.


    What one of her pet spirits said yesterday about those people might be them.


    Her n might not go smoothly.


    "Alright, we should get going. See you at the match, Ana."


    Leaving those words behind, especially thest one. Rias walked past the two girls. Akeno and the others had no choice but to follow her.


    Rias was pretending.


    The girl looked pleased when she saw the surprise on Anastasia''s face because she called her by her nickname even though they hadn''t introduced themselves to each other.


    Anastasia didn''t know she wasn''t the only one who could hear inner voices. It was natural but Rias was using this for fun.


    This bad habit...


    Where did Rias learn it from?


    Akeno, Mio and Xenovia knew. That girl must have learned from Eiji.
